Cuboidal epithelium with brush border of microvilli is found in:
Ducts of salivary glands
Proximal convoluted tubule of nephron
Eustachian tube
Lining of intestine
To solve this problem, we need to identify where cuboidal epithelium with a brush border of microvilli is found. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Ducts of salivary glands - The ducts of salivary glands are typically lined with simple cuboidal or columnar epithelium, but they do not have a brush border of microvilli.Option 2: Proximal convoluted tubule of nephron - The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of the nephron is lined with simple cuboidal epithelium that has a brush border of microvilli. - This brush border increases the surface area for reabsorption, which is a key function of the PCT.Option 3: Eustachian tube - The Eustachian tube is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, not cuboidal epithelium with a brush border.Option 4: Lining of intestine - The lining of the intestine is composed of simple columnar epithelium with microvilli, not cuboidal epithelium.Based on the analysis, the correct answer is Option 2: Proximal convoluted tubule of nephron.
